Who doesn’t love a little #bts? Here’s a few snaps of a wall in-progress for the newest @brownbagseafood in the loop. Can’t wait to see this wall complete with shelves and PLANTS 🌱 🌿🌵 at Chicago, Illinois

We just had a huge weekend of Casual Lettering study and practice at my March Casual Intensive weekend workshop aka #casualbootcamp at my studio in LA!
Huge first steps were taken by @littlewingcreates and Kevin O'Donnell who were both first timers with the brush and mahl stick.
At this workshop students spend a lot of time studying casual letter shapes along with brush stroke practice and letter execution, followed with some layout and design study before producing their own Showcard style sign to keep.
it was great to share my craft of 30 years with two talented artist with a passion to learn it!
Special shoutout to Kevin for making the trek from #Detroit to take the workshop!! Next up, Script and Casual Australia in April then back to LA for May. 😎🖌🖌🖌🖌🖌🖌

I reach a point in every painting where I think "this looks like hot garbage juice, I should scrap the whole thing"
then I start to question my morals and my life choices up to this point, who I am as a person, how am I going to save for retirement, is the earth flat, why I can never gain the respect of my neighbors dog... Yeah I'll just keep painting... Hey have a happy Monday! #wip

More practice with my Mack 00. First stab at a two color design. Some symmetry issues and few line weight issues due to over reducing here and there. But overall I am pretty happy with how it turned out. (Wish I would've made that top curve go down instead of up). Some progress is better than no progress...one step at a time 😎👍

Today's practice with my Mack 10 series 00. At one point I was very satisfied with it buuuut then of course I kept going and blotched up some shit. Oh well...starting to see some progression in my brush control. Til tomorrow!!! 😎

I've always been fascinated by the art of pinstriping and sign painting. Recently decided to gather up some supplies and try it out myself. It is extremely difficult but extremely fun and satisfying. This is my first creation I didn't wipe off using my Mack/Tidwell Brushes and 1-Shot paint. Looking forward to learning and growing! @mackbrush@1shotpaints@artboytidwell (shout out to @mrozdesigns for answering all my questions and providing words encouragement!)
